Judith A. Donnelly

On Thursday August 8th 2024, Judith Ann Donnelly, “Judy”, 56, of Livingston Manor NY passed away suddenly in her home.
Judith was the daughter of the late Thomas Donnelly and Blanche Thomas, born on December 11, 1967 in Liberty, NY.
Judith is survived by her husband George Bowman of Livingston Manor NY, her five children: Lisa Hardenbergh (Chris) of Jefferson NY, Debera Santiago of Oswego NY, Charles Santiago (Jeremy) of Granada Hills CA, Samantha Bowman of Jefferson NY, Brandon Bowman of Livingston Manor NY and her sisters Rhonda Bischert (Daniel), and Crystal McAdams (Pete) of Livingston Manor NY and Diane Broadie (Fred) of Liberty NY; as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
One thing for certain, is Judith “Nana”, loved her nine grandchildren: Alyssa Gadoury, Christopher Hardenbergh Jr., Anthony Hillard, Caleb Hardenbergh, Ayhana Hillard, Ayden Santiago, Gianni Nembhard, Hector Zavala and Jayanna Nembhard and her first great-grand baby, Kaisen Rozell Hillard. She was their biggest supporter and their hardest lover. There was nothing in the world she wouldn’t do for her grand babies. She is now their biggest guardian angel.
Judith was a mother, grandmother “Nana”, great- grandmother, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. When she was able to do so, you would often find Judy tending to her plants or gardening. She’s always had the greenest thumb. You would never catch Judy without a cup of coffee, you would think it ran through her veins. She’d dance in the kitchen with her blue mascara and scream “y’all gon make me lose my mind, up in here!” Judith was the light to everyone’s life, the biggest heart, the brightest blue eyes and the warmest of smiles, but she was also a force to be reckoned with. There was nothing that woman was scared of, besides maybe moths. When you look in the sky, be sure to find her in the BlueJays. She was more than certain she’d come back as a beautiful blue, free in the sky.
May Judy’s soul rest peacefully with her parents Blanche and Ronald Beardslee (deceased), her father Thomas Donnelly (deceased) and her passed sisters Cindy Donnelly, Mary Donnelly, and Jacqueline Morris. Judy’s spirit lives on and will certainly be carried on in all of the hearts she’s left behind.
